Halloween festivities began the weekend before, when Aunt Marie was here. She enlisted Mary to help her make sugar cookie dough, and then David and Mary together decorated the cookies.
Daddy and Aunt Marie took the kids to Sutter's Ridge for some pretty fall views and pumpkin picking.
Then the pumpkins had to be carved, of course.
The kids dressed up for the church Fall Festival, where they got their first haul of candy from the Trunk-or-Treat.
This year Mary chose to be cheerleader (one "for Bucky Badger"), and David wanted to be a Stealth Ninja.
On Halloween Greg took the kids trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. I stayed home to pass out candy.
Greg reported that Mary was a super trooper, skipping from house to house.
Love these sweet kids! (Who brought home lots and lots of sweets.)
